Earring as Expression

I love working on my torch-fired enamel jewelry (which I have been doing a lot lately in spite of my lack of blogging about it!) because included with it being part craft, part art, part practical, part impractical, part fun and part work it is also *all* expression.

This bright bold beautiful bauble bead (no alliteration intended but I like it!) earring I made is full of colors that express just how I feel today: warm, welcoming, happy, hopeful, positive, eager and ready.

Spring is definitely here and the earth (in my part of the world at least) is coming alive once again. I love it when this happens.

We have the color of bursting buds breaking free which is so refreshing and rejuvenating. Everywhere I look there is either the bold and beautiful color of a blossoming tree or the less obvious subtle hint of color adding intrigue to even the simplest things...
